Utilizing tempo is one of the simplest ways to pro

Utilizing tempo is one of the simplest ways to provide variable to training. More TUT (time under tension)=More difficult on muscular endurance and hypertrophic adaptation in the eccentric phase (aka lengthening of muscle under load). Less TUT=easier on tissue, great for teaching movement and potentially allowing more volume in session. TRX is a great tool to utilize for that, and increasing TUT for suspended exercises GREATLY increases the difficulty.
Semi private group had to complete 10 reps of TRX Crunch, 10/0/10. Simple enough but 200 seconds under tension is a massive challenge.

Control your controllables. Breath, movement, nourishment, recovery. The rest, is out of your control.

Putting the system to work for Cole. Collegiate ba

Putting the system to work for Cole. Collegiate baseball player with some distinct opportunities to improve hip rotational capacity. A few rules:
1) Rotation before linear: focusing on improving the rotational aspects of his hip before moving into linear aspects.
2) Control before speed: focus on isometrics and ramping to get his nervous system to access the things we want to access.
3) Conditioning reflects the primary plane of his sport: Concentric based battle rope in an offset stance to improve rotational endurance at the hip and trunk.

SPECIFIC in the SAID principle is not a figure of speech. Get specific with your training if you want to see specific results.

Contact me if interested in how to get SPECIFIC improvements.

Shinbox hip extension loaded with @ancoretraining.

Shinbox hip extension loaded with @ancoretraining. Max eccentric phase with assist from ancore and loaded concentric contraction. Focus is on isometric internal and external rotation in each action at the hip capsule. Getting @bennyt46 ready for this upcoming NBA season drilling in strength endurance work via the internal strength model. Be specific with your intended adaptations.

Loading the lunge matrix at RPE 8-9 and working on

Loading the lunge matrix at RPE 8-9 and working on multi plantar stability. A challenging progression earned with lots and lots of development and practice. Thankful I can express my body’s mobility in new and challenging ways. Added the clean in between transitions for an extra challenge.

This isn’t easy. None of this has been. Everyday

This isn’t easy. None of this has been. Everyday it’s hard but now we are asking for help.

Mia’s care and Aubrey’s care, even with insurance, is more than we can handle alone. We are still working on exact figures but some of the bills have started coming in. We need help.

Anything we receive over the amount we need we will be donating to the Finley Project.

If you feel led, please donate. Help us.

Push, Hinge. Simple. Doesn’t have to complicated to get the job done with working on anaerobic conditioning.

Kyle getting work done is always a joy to see as his coach. Adversity overcomer. Persistent. Always brings the best energy. Can’t wait to see his eventual comeback.

More contrast tempos.
This is a big part of my current training program. Trying to mix velocity profiles to challenge both the skeletal muscle and connective tissue (bioflow).
Using external loading strategies with heavy dumbbells for the slow speed and just utilizing the ancore and what’s that strap for the explosive reps.

External displays of strength and power are dependent on a combination of joint capacity for movement and nervous systems response to the external environment.

Can you create force laterally? Do you need to?

Well Ben does and needs ability to push off, turn and run and move side to side. We do this with some continuous tension lateral lunges with @whatsthatstrap and then crossover step lateral sled pulls. One places a greater emphasis on eccentric contraction (lengthening) and the other concentric contraction (shortening).

Also check out how important his foot connection to the ground is via @vivobarefoot so he can create better push-up and awareness through his kinetic chain. Crucial elements to strong legs.

Intraset overloading strategies with TRX Training.

Intraset overloading strategies with TRX Training.

Next time you are doing intervals in your TRX training during a hypertrophy phase, try this technique to really challenge potential muscle growth.

For standing exercises, complete a :30 intervals but every :10 take a step in increasing the vector resistance of the Suspension Trainer.

For suspended exercises, same interval scheme but move a little further away every :10 increasing pendulum resistance.

Week to week increasing your starting angle.
Month to month change exercises you do this with.
Overloading strategies like this get you the most out of your suspension trainer and can also be done in reverse, starting at a deeper angle and decreasing as fatigue sets in, much like a drop set.

My first “training” session in a month.

A month ago today, my daughter Mia was born with severe HIE. A week later we held her and said goodbye. My diet has been terrible. I’ve been drinking far too much alcohol and going thru the motions with my workouts. Today was my first real day of training again. Mentally and emotionally I’m still recovering from what we went thru but today marked the first day I was able to do something I programmed and push hard. I feel better from it as well.

This workout is also a great example how of I include battle ropes into my training. It’s not just a get tired tool. The whole first phase of power in this session was all single rope explosive power. Followed that up with unilateral lower body and bilateral upper body. Finished off with endurance utilizing sled, ski erg, and farmers carries.

Joint Specific/Everything.

Reminder: strength coach’s job is to give our clients/athletes ALL of the things they need to perform the tasks and demands of their lives/sports.

Big three for me for everyone: shoulders, spines, and hips. If you can’t do anything else, make sure those three things have capacity, strength and all of the workspace you can create.

These three savages just making it look easy.
